SUCCESS SECRETS IN LIFE
View(s):Introduction – As humans we all aspire for a successful and rewarding life. However, some individuals achieve it, whilst others do not. What are the secrets of successful persons, which we can learn and enrich our lives? In this brief article, I will endeavour to share some insights based on personal experiences and life stories of eminent individuals
Success Secrets
1. Successful individuals wake up early, ideally well before sunrise. They use this valuable time to engage in productive activities that set the tone for the rest of the day.
2. They do not procrastinate. What can be done today is accomplished today. They are never in the habit of postponing tasks, irrespective of how unimportant or important they are
3. Time management is another important factor. Successful individuals respect their time as well as the time of others. They plan and keep up to their schedules, in both official and personal tasks.
4. Successful persons practice the principle of “Attitude of gratitude”. They never forget the individuals who have helped them become successful and demonstrate their gratitude to these persons.
5. Prioritising their work in terms of importance and urgency. They are aware that they cannot accomplish all tasks in a single day and hence prioritize them, concentrating on what is important and urgent and urgent but not important.
6. Successful persons demonstrate humor and believe that “laughter is the best medicine”. They use humor to de-stress and make their days brighter and cheerful.
7. Developing good habits are vital to success in life and business. This dedication to healthy habits is how you could persevere through tough times.
8. Successful persons do not sit on the side lines day dreaming. They do what they think about. They are not afraid to take risks. Many ventures in life will never be 100% safe or guaranteed. Do not let risk stop you.
9. They have a spiritual outlook to life and follow a particular religious doctrine. Through this they practice good personal principles and values, which help them to accomplish objectives by following sound personal values.
10. Successful persons are also humble in their outlook and let their deeds do the talking. Most of them shy away from bragging about their accomplishments.
11. Success people take a “Can Do” attitude. They look at finding solutions. They are fixers in life. They can maintain perspective and not get carried away with their enthusiasm.
12. Individuals who are genuinely successful measure their success in terms of the contribution they have made towards the success of others. If people they have helped are successful, it goes without saying that they are successful as well.
13. They believe in the motto “Work smart and play hard”. Successful persons dedicate many hours to work, where they do not waste time but engage in serious work. This leaves them enough time to “play hard” by engaging in sports, hobbies, exercises etc.
14. Successful people stay on purpose and not on outcome. Do the task because it is what you love to do or because it will help someone or is a valuable exercise. Do not do it for the money or recognition. Those will come naturally.
15. Work-life balance is something that “real” successful persons believe in. They realize that work is only one facet in life and recognize the importance of enjoying life as well.
16. Many successful persons engage in meditation, either early in the morning or the last thing before going to bed. Meditation helps to soothe the mind, and relax the body. It is ideal to de-stress in a hectic world.
17. Many successful people associate with positive, focused people who they can learn from and who will not drain their valuable energy, with complaints and uninspiring attitudes.
18. Successful people have a mission statement in life. This is simply a set of guiding principles, which clearly states where they are going and where they want to be at the end of their life.
19. Personal Vision and goals drive successful individuals to accomplish great heights. They keep these goals in focus and reflect on them daily. Further they are open to revise their vision and goals if necessary.
20. Finally, read “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. It contains a wealth of wisdom and powerful insights into further developing your character and enhancing your personal relationships.
Conclusion – There are many ordinary persons who have lived successful lives. You do not have to be famous to be successful. What is needed is a clear purpose in life, supported by sound personal principles and values. Another important point to note is that you do not have to be rich to be successful. This is just a wrong belief and perception. Anyone has the potential to be successful by making optimum use of God given gifts.
“Success should not be measured by the wealth
you have but by the amount of lives you have touched”.
